Topics: More on rectifiers, limiters, clampers Review Chapter 4 as needed. Study for a test on Friday, 9/30 Do 4.4 parts i, j, k only, 4.47 (see note below), *4.80. Note: Add this question to 4.47 near the end the problem statement and just before the parenthetic note: If each diode has zero resistance associated with wire bonds and one of the 10 diodes is at a temperature of 303 K whereas all the other diodes are at 293 K, how does the net current divide through the 10 parallel diodes? Hint: All 10 diodes have the same vD. Find that voltage iteratively. (your choice of technique) Then find each diode's current. Note: Is = (4.6)(ΔT/10)Iso where ΔT = Change in temp from given (degrees kelvin) Iso = Saturation current at a given temp (deg K). VT = kT/q, see text page 186. Boltzmann's constant, k = 1.380 648 5279 x 10-23 J/K Elementary charge, q = 1.602 176 620 898 x 10-19 C |

9/02 See notes 6 and 9 below |
Topics: Review of Circuit Analysis. Review as necessary from your EGR 220 textbook and/or the "Introduction to Electrical Engineering" handout on Canvas@Dordt here9, and/or see Sedra & Smith Appendix D. Also available on Canvas, Appendix D9. Do Problems 1.5, 1.6, +D*1.9, D1.13, 1.14, *1.18, +1.20, 1.23. (See notes 1 through 5 below.) Bring homework questions to class on Friday. |
| Note 1) |
Discussion in class is an important part of working the
assignments. Students must be prepared to discuss the
assignments starting with the class following the "Assigned"
date.
|
| Note 2) |
The text includes "Exercises" embedded throughout the reading
assignments and "Problems" at the end of each chapter. All the
assignments refer to "Problems" at the end of the chapter unless
they are prefixed with "Ex". Example: The first problem
assigned in this class, 1.5, is found on page 42. (Ex1.5 is
found on page 11, and Ex1.5 is not the assigned problem).
|
| Note 3) |
A "+" mark in front of the problem number means an answer
is given at the end of the text, in Appendix L.
|
| Note 4) |
The letter "D" in front of a problem number indicates a design
oriented problem. The student may need to use some judgement in
understanding what the problem statement is requesting. (Ask
Prof. De Boer if you are in doubt.)
|
| Note 5) |
Asterisks (*) indicate more difficult or more time-consuming
problems (in the authors' judgement). The more asterisks, the
more difficult.
|
| Note 6) |
If the "Returned" date is a link, then the solution key is posted
on Canvas@Dordt. Click on the returned date to go directly to
the solution key.
|
| Note 7) |
Problem sets shown above with no "Assigned" date are tentative.
More problems might be added, expected due dates might change,
but problems shown will eventually be assigned.
|
| Note 8) |
If you are having difficulty reading the latest version of this
page it may have to do with your browser's cached memory. Read
this note on
cached pages to solve the problem.
|
| Note 9) |
If a link brings you to a login page use your Dordt College
network username and password. If this brings you to the opening
page of Canvas@dordt instead of the resource you wanted, click
your browser's back arrow twice to return to the link on this
page, then click the link again. Now that you are signed in the
link will work properly.
